Creative Energy Work: Award-Winning Marketing Campaigns and Case Studies
Work
Abingdon Convention & Visitors Bureau
Abingdon Tourism
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Abingdon, Virginia, is a hidden gem known for its scenic beauty, vibrant foodie scene, and rich history. Despite its charm, it’s often been overlooked by newer tourists, which is why the Abingdon Convention & Visitors Bureau asked us to create a promotional video and photography library showcasing what makes this town so special. We set out to capture the breathtaking fall landscapes, the fantastic foodie scene, and unique chill vibe that set Abingdon apart from other towns in the region. The toughest part? Showcasing everything this incredible town has to offer!
Coca-Cola Community
We partnered with Coca-Cola to create a video showcasing all of the good work they do with their community partners each year. Additionally, we captured photo and video content documenting various community engagement initiatives, such as assembling care packages for Veterans’ Day in collaboration with the USO, the Special Olympics + MLS Unified All-Star Experience and the National Tree Lighting with the National Park Foundation.
UNICOI COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Trails & Tunes Festival
The first event of its kind, the Trails & Tunes Festival of Erwin, TN, needed to get the good word out of its existence. Targeting the Appalachian trail’s “bubble” (Where a large group congregates to hike the trail), as well as tourists from the neighboring areas, we were tasked to inform folks of a fun day of listening to music in the great outdoors. We created a logo befitting the event, a tagline that gets the people going, an inviting website, and targeted social media to promote this new and exciting festival. But when the festival you’re promoting is in the gorgeous East Tennessee mountains, the whole thing kinda sells itself.
Tri-Cities Airport Website
We love our local airport—no seriously, we love it. Tri-Cities Airport connects us to major hubs with endless destinations, and we don’t even need a cartography degree to find our gate. Flying local is easily the most convenient way to begin any journey, and Tri-Cities Airport needed their website to display their wide array of customer services while also reflecting their goal of attracting new business opportunities and bringing more route options to our area. FlyTRI.com accomplishes all this and more with a completely reworked site structure, redefined user journeys, and a sleek new design.
Discover the Big Pal
The Big Pal is one BIG, delicious discovery. As a result of a dramatic increase in population in Northeast Tennessee, our team was tasked with educating newcomers about the Big Pal. We did some digging, and found out one of the best things about the Big Pal was the initial discovery of it, which is indeed, a BIG deal to all who have tasted it. Our team created a TV spot featuring two inventors who made this discovery for themselves, featuring a mechanical pigeon (crafted by a Muppetteer!) who helped to spread the word.
From Starter to Finish
Your warm avocado toast, your savory breakfast sandwich, or that moment you package a delicious homemade sub in anticipation for your lunch break…The fact is, every day begins with better bread. La Brea Bakery asked us to create a campaign based on this very concept, reminding people of the brand’s unique roots and how they’ve maintained their time-honored, old world bread making techniques from starter to finish, elevating meals and memories for over 30 years. We produced 3 TV spots, promptly titling one of them, “From Starter to Finish” as an ode to the brand, their history, and their dedication to bringing the highest quality of artisan breads to every table.
Case Studies
Bluegrass and Biscuits
Bluegrass and Biscuits
We pulled out all the stops to promote the return of the Tender Pork Loin Biscuit at Pal's. To promote this regional classic, we turned to the region's original music style: bluegrass. We put a new twist on a classic folk song called "Boil Them Cabbage Down" with talented young musicians from East Tennessee State University performing it. This song was incorporated into a TV commercial featuring bluegrass celebrity Tim White. We also used it to create social content, festival signage, SWAG, out-of-home ads, and a radio spot. So clap our hands, stomp your feet, and sing along to this catchy tune dedicated to Pal's Tender Pork Loin Biscuits.
Pals – The Climb to Fame

How do you take a regional fast food restaurant and help them compete with industry giants? With strategic marketing and fresh, award-winning creative. Great client relationships result in big rewards, and our relationship with Pal’s is a reflection of how the right partnership can help a brand climb to cult status.
Pal’s Game
Sudden Service The Game
